Floraphage, 90 Capsules (Arthur Andrew Medical) (Prebiotic / probiotic supplement)
£45.00
Maximize the strength of any probiotic with the worlds's first supplemented prebiotic “PHAGE."
Phage or Bacteriophages are microscopic proteins that target and devour certain harmful bacteria.* When Floraphage dismantles bad bacteria within the gut, nutrients are released turning bad bacteria in the upper GI tract into high-quality food for good bacteria. Based on lab testing with several popular probiotic supplements, this remarkable prebiotic was able to increase the growth rate of supplemented probiotics by 24x compared to control.* Avoid uncomfortable symptoms such as gas and bloating that come along with standard prebiotics and improve the performance of any probiotic formula.*
Floraphage for Digestive Health
The human digestive tract contains trillions of microorganisms that constantly compete for space and nutrients. This system can be highly susceptible to attacks from harmful bacteria, which can result in digestive discomfort and a weakened immune system. It is therefore important for beneficial bacteria to outperform these harmful bacteria so that proper intestinal balance and overall good health can be achieved. Unfortunately the opposite can sometimes occur, in which aggressive strains of harmful bacteria outgrow and consume more resources than the beneficial bacteria. This phenomenon can be associated with poor health, abdominal discomfort, and bacterial infections. To combat these intestinal imbalances and their damaging effects, Floraphage has been developed to support the restoration and maintenance of the highly sensitive digestive ecosystem.
Why Floraphage?
Floraphage was designed to support the proliferation of beneficial bacteria throughout the gastrointestinal tract in order to promote optimal digestive and immune health. Floraphage was tested in conjunction with four popular probiotic supplements to determine its ability to increase the growth rate for each respective product. The graph on the right demonstrates the average increase in CFU activity, the measurement of probiotic bacteria growth, for the four products was 2400%, versus control (growth without the use of Floraphage). Floraphage is an excellent product to take in conjunction with a probiotic to maximize the benefits of supplemented beneficial bacteria. It is also helpful for those that do not take probiotics in order to maximize indigenous bacteria growth.
What is Floraphage?
Floraphage is a bacteriophage (or phage), which is a microscopic protein that can target and destroy one particular type of bacteria. Floraphage is selectively-antimicrobial, specifically attaching to only harmful bacteria. Once a phage has attached itself, these “bad” bacteria essentially burst open, releasing more phage and nutrients, known as prebiotics, for our good bacteria to feed on. Floraphage can only attach itself to harmful bacteria, and can never enter or harm good bacteria or human cells.
Phages are everywhere, in our food, in the water we drink, on and in our bodies, and pretty much anywhere else imaginable. They are actually the most abundant naturally occurring organisms on earth. Phages have been safely used for over 90 years in the food supply and as a therapy for antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. Floraphage is the first dietary supplement formula to utilize these amazing microscopic proteins.
How Does Floraphage Work?
Floraphage specifically targets bad bacteria and destroys their cell wall, releasing nutrients that provide good bacteria with the food and space that are needed for substantial growth in the digestive tract. In doing so, Floraphage reverses the growth pattern of certain bad bacteria and allows good bacteria to proliferate in their place.
Since Floraphage forces the release of nutrients from bad bacteria, it inherently acts as a two-phase super-prebiotic. During the first phase, Floraphage selectively attacks certain bacteria, creating space along the intestinal wall. The second phase occurs organically when these bacteria burst open and release prebiotic nutrients. Prebiotics help beneficial bacteria grow faster than harmful bacteria. More specifically, prebiotics are natural sources of nutrients that provide benefit by stimulating the growth and activity of good bacteria in the digestive tract. Prebiotic supplements have historically been made up of some type of fiber or sugar, which have been known to lead to gas and bloating. Floraphage is not comprised of fiber or sugars, so the potential for digestive distress is eliminated while providing its super-prebiotic benefits.
How Safe is Floraphage?
Floraphage represents a tiny fraction of the total phages contained in the body, as the gut is a natural habitat for bacteria and phages. Floraphage does not contain genetic elements that are harmful to humans. Furthermore, Floraphage is not constructed in a manner that would enable it to negatively impact any beneficial bacteria. Therefore, Floraphage presents no harm to the natural microbial flora of the intestine. In addition, Floraphage has GRAS status with the FDA.
Benefits of Floraphage Include:
Increase the potency of any probiotic
Does not cause digestive discomfort
Selective anti-microbial properties
Can be taken alone or in combination with a probiotic
Does not contain GMOs

Living Libations
Living Libations Yogi Tooth Serum 5ml
£37.50
Quick Overview
Yogi Tooth Serum is a potent combination of organic neem, cinnamon, clove, mastic, cayenne and cardamom keep your mouth extremely fresh and clean. These ancient Vedic botanicals, are the yogi secret anti-bacterial, anti-viral anti-fungal agents for oral care. Neem alkalizes the gums and mouth. Neem is arista in Sanskrit, a word that means: perfect, complete and imperishable. Neem has been used in India and other Southeast Asian countries for thousands of years in agriculture, food storage, and as a cure-all. Many research studies show that Neem is, fungicidal and antibacterial. Add one drop to toothbrush, and mouth rinse. This serum may also be massaged into gums, and always glide a drop over dental floss to cleanse those tiny spaces in between the teeth. Yogi Tooth Serum is excellent to use with our Neem Enamelizer and Truth Tooth Polish.
Genuine essential oils address the circumstances that lead to a compromised immune system, including unwanted bacteria, viral loads, chronic inflammation, and a congested lymph system. The use of genuine essential oils originated as a medical therapy based on the pharmacological benefits of essential plant extracts. Essential oils and supercritical extracts are the key to our Living Libations formulas. They are highly concentrated, and with some of our botanicals, a whole plant is required to create only one drop of oil. The distinctive lipid-soluble structure of essential oils allow them to penetrate the lipid matrix of the gums and benefit the immune system. They send nutrients to the blood vessels and molecules, and reach the dentine, nerves, and roots of the teeth. They get the circulation and the lymph system going. Elements such as mastic in the Yogi Tooth Serum help to regenerate gum tissue. Essential oils are also potent in oxygen radical absorption capacity, or ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), and have been found to be among some of the most powerful antioxidants. Clove and cinnamon are very high in ORAC capability, and have impressive properties for eliminating bacteria. In addition to which the mosaic effect of the combined botanicals creates an effect of thousands of plant compounds. Some plant compounds will reduce inflammation, while others will have an antibacterial effect, and others an antiseptic one. Many essential oils combine all of these compounds.
Essential oils are extremely potent, often hundreds of times stronger than the herbal extraction of the same plant. Each oil has hundreds of botanical chemical components that work synergistically. Genuine distillations of plants, flowers, seeds, roots, and trees have been used medicinally for centuries. Each one of the botanical species in these formulas is carefully selected by Nadine Artemis for their individual and synergistic effects that improve and maintain gum and oral health. The combination of antiseptic, astringent, circulatory and analgesic botanicals create optimal molecular activity.
Yogi Tooth Serum is made potent extracts of organic neem, cinnamon, clove, cayenne, mastic, and cardamom to provide oral care support. This combination of ancient Vedic botanicals, Yogi Tooth Serum, is the yogi secret of anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal oral care.
Cayenne, Capsicum frutescens. Ours is a super-critical extract with catalytic, antibacterial, antiseptic, and stimulating properties. The capsaicin compound in cayenne is also a topical vasodilator which stimulates blood circulation.
Cardamom, Elettaria cardamomum, is an essential oil that stimulates and tones the digestive tract and has antiseptic properties that stimulate the phagocytic cellular action of the immune system. It is also supportive of the nervous system and helps supplement healthy oral care with its anti-infectious, antibacterial actions.
Cinnamon, Cinnamomum ceylanicum. Our true cinnamon bark essential oil from Madagascar is antiseptic and antibacterial. It stimulates blood circulation to the gums and promotes their health and regeneration. Cinnamon is high in the compounds eugenol and cineol, both of which have potent anesthetic and antiseptic properties that increase the production of white blood cells. According to the work of Drs Franchomme and Pènoel, cinnamon bark oil is effective against 98% of all pathogenic bacteria.[1]
Clove Bud, Eugenia carophyllata, is an analgesic essential oil from the flowering buds of the clove tree with an extremely high ORAC. Clove has relieved toothaches and freshened breath since ancient times. A potent antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal, clove boosts the immune system and stimulates blood flow with its botanical constituents of eugenol, esters, and sesquiterpenes, all of which combine to create an essence with an impressive action against pathogens and microbes. “It is antiparasitic and helps gum infections, toothaches and tonsillitis.”[2]
Mastic, Pistacia lentiscus, is a type of resin similar to frankincense which comes from the inner sap of the mastic tree and is helpful for maintaining the connective tissue in the oral area. It has a long history of oral care use in ancient Greece and is very good in helping to remove tooth plaque. Mastic contains antioxidants, antifungal, and antibacterial benefits. The major antibacterial components of mastic oil are: ?-Pinene, verbenone, ?-terpineol, linalool, ?-myrcene, ?-pinene, limonene, and ?-caryophyllene[3]. Like all essential oils, the antibacterial efficacy of mastic oil is due to all of its components working synergistically. This resin extract is a potent antiseptic, which inhibits oral bacteria including Helicobacter pylori that creates stomach ulcers. Mastic oil helps to harness the activity of the blood's first-line-of-defense protection: the leukocytes (white blood cells) and the multinucleocytes. This helps to increase the tissue’s defense, especially between the teeth and gums, where gingivitis and plaque occur.
Neem, Azadiracta indica, has pain-relieving compounds that can reduce the discomfort of a toothache. The vasodilatation and anti-inflammatory compounds in neem prevent cell adhesion and kill the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Neem alkalizes the gums and mouth, and kills the bacteria that cause Pyorrhea and Gingivitis. Neem obliterates the calcium-forming organisms and the organisms that cause cavities. Neem is 'arista,' which in Sanskrit means “perfect, complete, and imperishable.” Neem has been used in Ayurvedic traditions for thousands of years in agriculture, food storage, and medicine. Many research studies prove that neem is fungicidal, miticidal, and antibacterial. Neem oil is an ideal remedy to eliminate periodontal and tooth infection. It can be applied locally around the teeth and gums and also benefits the gastrointestinal tract.
Essential oils in their unique nature are all antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral to varying degrees. In the book Beyond Antibiotics, Michael Schmidt devotes an entire chapter to the antimicrobial efficacy of essential oils, and states, “One of the advantages essential oils have over antibiotics is that bacteria do not develop resistance to essential oils. Many essential oils exert their antibacterial effect by interfering with the bacteria’s ability to breathe. On the other hand, antibiotics interfere with the life cycle, or metabolism of, bacteria, but since bacteria are very crafty creatures, they change their chemistry and genes, which makes the antibiotic less effective the next time it is used. As a result, new generations of antibiotics will need to be developed to stay ahead of these organisms. Additionally says Schmidt, “another advantage to essential oils is that some actually stimulate immune function.”
The botanical serums created for the Successful Self-Dentistry protocol are Healthy Gum Drops and Yogi Tooth Serum. Many people have asked us, “What is the difference between the two and which should I use?” The answer is that they have the same effect and the same excellent results, yet they contain different synergies of botanicals. All the ingredients are active and all the ingredients are antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral, meaning they can remove unwanted oral bacteria, revivify gum tissue, and enhance the immune system.
Yogi Tooth Serum and Healthy Gum Drops achieve the same results with different botanical selections. They maximize the health of one’s oral ecology by both rejuvenating the gum tissue and increasing blood circulation to the gums and blood vessels of the mouth. The Healthy Gum Dr ps is fresh and minty tasting. The powerful bitters of neem in Yogi Tooth Serum take some people a little getting used to (although the cinnamon and cardamom in the product do help make the neem palatable). That being said, there is no need to get both, although some choose both for variety and alternate between the two. Both serums are great for flossing, brushing, and for keeping gums healthy, which is a major key to oral health. Both formulas are also effective on a deeper level and, while they work wonders at cleaning the teeth and nourishing the gum tissue, they are also beneficial to digestion and the stomach. So, even if you are only focusing on the teeth and gums, the botanicals in these serums are part of an integrated, harmonious system that can also benefit your whole body.
People sometimes ask if it is okay if they happen to swallow any of the oral care serums. The short answer is yes, in the “drop” quantities in which they are used. Essential oils are potent and it is often advised they not be taken internally in any quantity. This is true if the oils are not a genuine authentic distillation. However, when pure distillations of essential oils are taken in small quantities (i.e. by the drop), most are fine (and often beneficial) for internal use. In fact, many essential oils are used by the food and flavor industries. Orange juice is often flavoured with essential oil from oranges, Earl Grey Tea is flavoured with essential oil distilled from bergamot, and many liqueurs, confectionaries, chocolates, and flavour extracts use various essential oils. Essential oils are lipid soluble and, because they have a small molecular size, are able to penetrate the dermal layer of the skin, positively affecting the body through the lymphatic vessels, capillaries, cells, and nerve endings located there.
What Goes on the Skin Goes InAside from being cautious about what and how much is ingested by swallowing, it is significant to know that everything that is applied to the body, including essential oils, or the manufactured chemicals of perfumes, toothpaste, and synthetic lotions, are also absorbed into the bloodstream, cells, and organs whenever they are applied to the skin, and often to a higher degree than by eating and digesting something. This rate of absorption is even higher inside the mouth and its moist tissues where the skin wall, or epithelium, is only one cell thick. This is especially true if one has bleeding gums where anything in the mouth will have direct access to the bloodstream. We would not want to put anything in, on, or around the body that could not be swallowed. With ingredients, discernment is important.
How these products are different than regular toothpaste and actually nourish the oral ecology:Mouth Math: acid + bacteria = inflammation = plaque = tartar = bleeding = sensitivity = decay = receding gums = exposed dentin = decay = lower immunity for overall health. The middle of the tooth is a pulp cavity and it contains nerve endings and blood vessels. Teeth are "alive" similar to the crystalline calcium make up of coral reefs. The mouth's salvia acts like an oceanic sea of alkalinity. Acidity strips the teeth of enamel making the teeth more vulnerable to bacteria. Unhealthy bacteria are the cause gingivitis, inflammation, periodontitis and decay. Under the gum line is cementum. Cementum keeps the tooth attached to gums and jaw bone held with collagen fibers. These deeply penetrating formulas containing amazing lipophilic properties that facilitate diffusion through the epithelium nourish the cells by promoting circulation to the gum tissue, dentin and blood vessels within our teeth. “Minty fresh” is a marketing promise we all know. Common toothpaste feels refreshing because it contains synthetic mint (menthol) or other flavor by-products such as cinnamon (cinnamaldehyde). These are not the real plant essences; they are synthetic derivatives. Foaming chemicals in your mouth while you are brushing your teeth do not create optimal oral ecology. Regular toothpaste gives an illusion of freshness, yet it does not really remove plaque, it is the brushing that does that. It is best to be minimalist about it and use a dry toothbrush with a dab of salt, baking soda, or a Tooth Serum.
The chemicals used in commercial toothpaste, including many of the brands sold in health food stores, include chemicals that you do not want in your mouth, such as glycerin, which coats the teeth and blocks the saliva from doing its primary job of re-mineralizing the enamel. You will also find calcium carbonate, which is essentially chalk that is not at all good for teeth. Also, what paste would be complete without the detergent and surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate, which makes toothpaste foamy? This known toxin breaks down your skin's natural barrier, easily penetrates skin, causing bleeding gums, and allows other chemicals to penetrate by increasing skin permeability approximately 100-fold. Additionally, when combined with other chemicals, it transforms into toxin nitrates and can reside in the body for five days.
Some toothpastes contain propylene glycol, also known as anti-freeze, which is not to be handled without gloves in a lab. Then there’s the FD&C color pigments (including coal tar derivatives that contain heavy metals and accumulate in the body), formaldehyde, Triclosan (a registered pesticide and bio-persistent chemical that destroys fragile aquatic ecosystems), artificial sweeteners, and synthetic isopropyl alcohol. You may also be surprised to learn that ethanol is the primary ingredient in most mouthwashes, even though it is known to cause approximately 36,000 cases of oral disease a year! How is it possible that toxins could help keep your mouth healthy? Yet when people find that they have breath or gum problems, one of the first things they do is go out and get a new brand of toothpaste and a big bottle of ethanol-based mouthwash.
Healthy gums provide a natural barrier against the 400-plus microorganisms entering the circulatory system. The epithelium (the very thin skin inside your mouth) is only one cell thick and is designed to keep toxins, bacteria, and infection from entering the body. The soft oral tissues are great at absorbing whatever comes into contact them, with approximately 90% absorption efficiency, the tiniest break or cut in the epithelium (bleeding gums) allows toxins and bacteria to enter the bloodstream quite quickly.
Many Uses:*These concentrates (water and alcohol free) can be added to salt-water for an excellent mouthwash.*One drop added to a dry tooth brush (good-bye toothpaste)*One drop added to a dry toothbrush and then dipped in (aluminum-free) baking soda, or salt.*Massaged into gums, especially areas where the pockets are low and the dentin is exposed.*One drop to proxa-brushes, sulca-brushes and rubber-tip stimulators*One drop on tongue-scrappers*One drop on tongue through the day for fresh breath*One drop gargled in water for sore throats*One drop on cankers sores; herpes lesions*Apply one drop several times a day to any oral wound, laceration, incision to ease pain, *reduce inflammation, keep the incision clean and generate new cells.*One drop to your string of floss, getting the Gum drops between each and every single tooth is very effective.
Side Benefits:*Diminished cancer sores*Eases herpes*Boosts immune systems and sinuses*Soothes sore throats*Keeps toothbrush clean
Review(s)
Yogi Tooth Serum = great alternative to mints!!!
In addition to being a great tooth serum to keep whole mouth clean and gleaming, I have to add that it is also a FANTASTIC breath freshener to put in mouth, just a drop or two on its own. Important meeting or date? Why not try this... Won't need to pop a mint any more! Living Libations is so pure, I adore exploring to get creative uses out of their products :) Yogi Tooth Serum = great mint alternative too!!! Woo hoo!
Excellent cinnamon tooth serum!!
Oh how I love the cinnamon in this tooth serum!!! I have used conventional toothpastes with cinnamon in the past, and needless to say, I recall the artificial taste off them right away (a revelation that comes after only tasting the pure and true Living Libations). ALL of the ingredients in this are deep, just as a yogi is. Reminds me of a cozy fireplace, a Christmas delight, a spiritual mass/church gathering deep in prayer, connecting to the divine. It tastes deep, but exciting; soothes at night and kickstarts the morning energetically too - stimulating through the mouth it affects the mood it feels, just from the wonderful taste! Keeps breath fresh for a long time. This also had my teeth go whiter I noticed :) Thumbs up!
LOVE the way my teeth feel
I've been using your dental care products for about three weeks now (LOVE the way my teeth feel!) and today I went to the dentist for a cleaning. The whole appointment took about 15 minutes. The hygienist told me that my teeth were so clean that I had left her nothing to work on - lol! Thank you!
The Deep Rinse
The Yogi Tooth serum is for that genuine deep cleansing. Yogi Tooth Serum is the strongest product in this line. It has a taste that is more 'green', earthy, bitter and spicy than the other tooth serums (which have a more sweet fresh scent). This will really clean down to the very roots! - and you can feel it. I think it's great to have two entirely different tooth serums to choose between, as they both have their specific qualities. I especially liked this serum during the wintertime...
What!?!?!?
Yogi Tooth Serum makes me scream! I've been using the whole dental kit including Healthy Gum Drops for about a year: all the while thinking they are superior to any other dental products I've ever used. It wasn't until just now I tried the Yogi Tooth Serum. I'm completely shocked. The moment I finished brushing, I ran to the computer to write a review. It's so good, and I like it so much better than the HGD, and for the minuscule price increase, it is an exponential improvement on an already amazing product. Thanks Nadine. You're the best!
On a high level of it's own
I LOVE this tooth serum. I no longer use any toothpaste/powder or oils from anywhere else, The Yogi Tooth Serum is in a very high class of it's own. I love it and look forward to cleaning my mouth everyday :)
Good but strongly medicinal
I like healthy gum drops better but this is a good product. It's a little bit strong and medicinal. It takes some getting used to. Healthy gum drops has a better flavor but both leave your mouth feeling clean and refreshed. Breath smells good for hours.
Powerful
I forgot how potent the Yogi Tooth Serum is. That stuff is amazing. I have been thinking about how it serves a double purpose - first it cleans out the mouth and then it goes down into the stomach and cleans that out too.
Potent
Both Tooth Serums are excellent! I can't get over how powerful the combination of neem oil with mastic, cinnamon and clove is and how virulent it is in terms of eliminating bad bacteria.
Right After the Dentist Clean Feel
I just wanted to take time to thank you for creating, and sharing, your Yogi Tooth Serum and Healthy Gums oil. I used them for the first time a few days ago and was instantly hooked! I had that right after the dentist clean feel without the danger or expense of an actual dental visit. I will never, ever, use toothpaste or gel again! You are a wonderful light sent to heal the earth!
Impressed
I have recently tried your Yogi Teeth products and am very impressed.
SO Clean & Fresh
I received the Yogi Tooth Serum last night along with the ChocolateKarat Serum. I tried them both and my teeth felt SO clean and fresh... And my face so moisturized and relaxed.
Your Stuff is AMAZING!!!
Holy Wow, Nadine, your stuff is AMAZING!!!! I’m just putting one drop of the yogi tooth serum on my tooth brush and my teeth feel so clean. I don’t think I’ll ever buy toothpaste again!
Spicy,warm,pure,natural, potent and effctive!
Thank you so much Nadine for this amazing creation, I will never go back to icky toothpaste. I wanted to wait about a week before i reviewed this product but I just couldnt wait. Results are instant, my mouth feels amazing some plaque has already been removed from the bottom front teeth, I got this amzing spicy warm sensation in my mouth and could just really feel it work! I am trying the healthy gum drops tonight with some floss and I just cant wait! :)
Life Changing Products
I recently ordered your tooth serum and gum drops - life changing products! And, I have listened to your tooth talks, fabulous too!
I Love It!
I met Nadine and Ron at David Wolfe's Longevity Conference and tried the Yogi Tooth Serum and Gum Drops after Nadine's amazing talk. I have a receding gum line and the serum and drops have really helped with the nerve sensitivity. My mouth feels so clean and fresh, I love it. I should also say that when I first heard a talk that Nadine gave, I bought essential oils at my local health food store. Once I tried Living Libations, the quality was a night and day difference. While they are more expensive, a small drop goes a long way. And, I also must say that Nadine and Ron are both really beautiful people. Physically they radiate health but they were also so warm and sincere. I can't say enough positive things about them and their products!
Survival!!!
Very powerful and effective tooth serum for killing plaque, bacteria, and germs. I take it in my purse everywhere. Great if you have a cold it just kills the germs and bad breath. It's sooo fabulous, won't let anyone kiss me until they share this product. mxx
Thank you so much for making such a beautiful product
Nadine and Ron, Thank you so much for making such a beautiful product. I received my order yesterday and am grateful to you both for making something like this available to others.
I Love Yogi Tooth Truth Serum
Save your teeth before it is too late! Throw away your toothpaste and feel great! The yogis knew more than you. They kept their teeth looking brand new. With cinnamon, clove and neem. A bright new smile, fresh and clean. I love Yogi Tooth Truth Serum. ;) Have the Best Night Ever!!!!
Amazing!
Just wanted to write and thank you for sending out the Yogi Tooth Serum, received several days ago. Also wanted to say that your products are nothing short of AMAZING! You truly are gifted! I have tried many essential oil preparations and had to throw them all away. Your products are effective without being harsh. I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do! Thank you for the products you make available. I am anticipating my next order already!
I can’t believe how much better my teeth and mouth feels each time I do this!
I love this protocol by the way! I saw it on David’s Longevity conference and I’ve watched it three times to make sure I got the protocol down right. I even printed out the instructions for both of us and I have mine taped on my mirror. I can’t believe how much better my teeth and mouth feels each time I do this. So happy you put this out for everyone’s benefit. I am hoping to heal two tiny cavities – got a bet with my dentist that they will be gone when my dental insurance has some room again in January
Whiter Teeth!
I ordered this product and have been fascinated and captivated by it. I love how simple my brushing routine has become and how clean my teeth feel afterwards. I love that I no longer need tooth paste and that my serum is only made up of 4 ingredients. Simple living is so fun and beautiful. Also, after using the drops for 3 weeks, I looked in the mirror and noticed my teeth have become whiter! I was not expecting this at all but am so grateful . Whiter teeth has been on my list of things to work on and your product is helping. I feel so amazing and more in touch with nature and the environment by using your wonderful creations. Thank you, thank you, thank you! xo
The BEST care for your teeth, gums, saliva- the whole mouth!
What can I say, I am obsessed! I have been dealing with healing severe TMJ for the last few years (I have had migraines for about 11 years and finally found out the huge issues with my jaw) and my mouth has just been a "hot" area in my body that I have had to heal, all together. I have receding gums and teeth moving all over the place. I expanded my upper jaw by nine mm and now I am completely the process of aligning my jaw. I have been trying to put as much positive healing energy into this area of my body and I take my teeth and mouth very seriously now. I found this product from the Raw Food World and was immediately intrigued. I have gotten rid of my regular toothpaste and have a completely new routine now. These oils make my mouth feel so much better and I feel like I have taken on a completely new healing process. I am so grateful to Nadine for this product and I am about the order one of the essential medicine kits to continue my healing through the immense pain and bring myself into a new place in life. Thank you so much Nadine! I will definitely post this on my blog soon as well to share - www.rawpeach.wordpress.com
Sooo bitter but soooo good!
I'm a super taster so the Yogi Tooth Serum is really bitter tasting for me, but holy whiter teeth! I'm in my 50s and within a couple of weeks of using the drops, along with a couple of scrubs of Himalayan sea salt, my teeth are noticeably whiter and my mouth feels so clean and fresh. Love it! Thank you for the excellent step-by-step dental care guide - I'm following it to the letter - who knew you don't need toothpaste!! - and my teeth & gums are so healthy now! I plan to try the milder gum drops just to compare, but this has really revolutionized my dental care routine. Thank you again!

Megahydrate 60 veg capsules / 300 mg (dosage 2 cap/day)
£38.00
MegaHydrate is the key that unlocks the potential of water as the medium for nutrient replenishment and waste removal at the cellular level. In a state of dehydration, body cells cannot assimilate nutrients and remove waste and relief pain from conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia. Dehydration also occurs as a side effect of caffeine. Caffeine effects include anxiety, dizziness, headaches, sleep disorders, and many common ailments. MegaHydrate also helps fight the negative effects of alcohol, stress, and free radicals as part of aging.
In addition to hydration, MegaHydrate is the most powerful known antioxidant food. Since it is an "pure" antioxidant that does not turn into a free radical itself, taken daily, MegaHydrate delivers far more Hydrogen ions than by eating pounds of raw fruits and vegetables or drinking gallons of "healing waters," also known as "glacial milk."
Humans need Hydrogen to survive. It is the key to long life and anti-aging. However, due to mass food production, mineral deficient soil, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, over-processing of foods, chemical preservatives, and drinking over-chlorinated and over-fluoridated water, people do not get enough Hydrogen ions daily. Body cells become damaged, hydration levels decrease and cells age. In summary, MegaHydrate challenges the symptoms of dehydration and minimizes the process of aging. Many customers report immediate pain relief and increases in energy.
MegaHydrate is a dietary supplement that is considered a food grade supplement rich in antioxidants by the FDA. Antioxidant foods like MegaHydrate help defy the aging process. It is safe, having been tested and shown to have no known side effects. Find out why MegaHydrate is more powerful than other antioxidant food and how it can help you.
ANTIOXIDANTS
Silica Hydride with Microcluster® technology, the active ingredient in MegaH® and MegaHydrate®, has been shown in numerous published scientific studies as an antioxidant compound. The negatively-charged hydrogen ions react with free radicals to neutralize the harmful effects of the radicals. These free radicals, more correctly called reactive oxygen species (ROS), if not combated, accumulate in the body and create an environment called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress has been scientifically proven to be either a direct cause or closely related to the inception of cancer, eye disorders, blood and vascular diseases, heart problems and organ failure. The problem with some antioxidants lies in the nature of chemical reactions in that the substance that reacts to neutralize the free radical becomes a radical, sometimes toxic to the cell and the cells around it. Phi Sciences' published research, conducted in-house as well as by prestigious universities, shows that the unique formulation and chemistry of Silica Hydride ensures sure that no toxic byproduct is created. Specifically, Silica Hydride has been tested for effectiveness against the most harmful, as well as abundant, ROS including, but not limited to, singlet oxygen, superoxide, and hydroxyl radicals. In all the tests, Silica Hydride not only eliminated the ROS by neutralizing them, but did not become a radical itself and did not create any toxic environment. The byproduct of most of the reactions between Silica Hydride and a radical is water. Comparing the effectiveness of Silica Hydride on ROS to other natural, and even synthetic, antioxidant compounds clearly shows that Silica Hydride is 800% more effective than either Green Tea or Grape Seed Extracts. The FDA and USDA, along with physicians, clinicians, and nutritionists, are recommending that diets contain more antioxidants. Research to date shows that Silica Hydride, the active ingredient in the Phi Sciences products MegaH™ and MegaHydrate™, are more powerful than any other known antioxidants
Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MegaH, MegaHydrate AND Crystal Energy?
The basis of all three products, MegaH, MegaHydrate, and Crystal Energy, is Dr. Flanagan's patented silica Microclusters® which provide numerous features such as increased hydration, increased zeta potential of cells to clean the blood, alkalizing of blood, and detoxification. The benefits of silica Microclusters® are increased energy, an enhanced immune system, pain relief, and a longer, healthier life. After developing the silica Microclusters®, Dr. Flanagan found out a way to capture active hydrogen (or negatively ionized hydrogen) inside the silica. This is called silica hydride. Silica hydride provides the benefits of the plain silica Microclusters® PLUS active hydrogen. Due to the active hydrogen, silica hydride is now the most powerful antioxidant known. The benefits of powerful antioxidants are substantial. MegaH and MegaHydrate both have silica hydride, but MegaHydrate has 50% more silica Microclusters® than MegaH. This means that MegaHydrate provides more hydration capacity than MegaH due to the increase of silica Microclusters® used in it. However in terms of silica hydride, MegaH and MegaHydrate HAVE THE SAME ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY per capsule. That means that both MegaH and MegaHydrate have the same amount of active hydrogen, but MegaHydrate is a more powerful hydrator. As you can see from the chart below, all three products alkalize the body, but Crystal Energy assures that all the water you treat with it will alkalize your body (or move more acid if that is your body's requirement). When taking MegaH or MegaHydrate, it only balances the pH of the water around the time you take the capsules. Plus if you have children, pets, or others you want to get the incredible health benefits of the silica Microclusters® without having to take a capsule, Crystal Energy is a very convenient way to do that. The ideal program is to take either MegaH or MegaHydrate daily AND add Crystal Energy to all your drinking water. Not only will the water taste great from Crystal Energy, but it will hydrate you to maximum benefit and get the antioxidant power of MegaH or MegaHydrate.

WHAT IS THE FLANAGAN SILICA MICROCLUSTER® ?
The Flanagan silica Microcluster® is a patented mineral that is the 241st form of silica discovered. Only a few angstroms wide (one ten billionth of a meter), the silica is in the shape of many small spheres clustered together. The main benefits of the silica Microcluster® is that it makes wetter water, allowing greater detoxification and nutrient absorption. The silica Microcluster® also balances pH, makes water taste fresher and ultimately increases hydration for better skin, more energy and a sharper mind. This form of silica Microcluster® is special and unique because if its incredibly tiny size that allows the spherical configuration to expand and contract based on the pH of the surrounding fluid. The spheres capture toxins and allow the body to flush them safely. Due to poisoning of the environment, air, food and water, detoxification is more important than ever before in recorded human history.
WHAT IS AN ANTIOXIDANT?
Antioxidants defend human body cells by neutralizing the damaging effects of free radicals, a byproduct of cell metabolism. Free radicals form when oxygen is metabolized, or burned, by the body. Free radicals disrupt the structure of other molecules, causing cellular damage. This cell damage is believed to contribute to aging and various health problems. Some well-known antioxidants include compounds normally present in food such as Vitamin E, beta-carotene, the carotenoids, Vitamin C, zinc, and selenium. Antioxidants retard oxidation and are sometimes added to meat and poultry products to prevent or slow oxidative rancidity of fats that cause browning.
WHAT DO ANTIOXIDANTS DO?
Antioxidants prevent free radical damage to critical DNA in every cell of the human body. "By controlling free radicals, antioxidants can make the difference between life and death, as well as influence how fast and how well we age." Their role in the human body is nothing less than miraculous," says Lester Packer, Ph.D., in The Antioxidant Miracle. Dr. Packer is regarded as the world's foremost antioxidant research scientist. He is Director of Packer Lab at the University of California at Berkeley, and a senior scientist at the prestigious Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
WHY ARE ANTIOXIDANTS IMPORTANT?
Antioxidants are key contributor to healthy and longevity. In his book, The Super Anti-Oxidants, James Balch, M.D., writes "The antioxidant network: Keeps your body youthful; Bolsters your natural defenses against cancer; Prevents and even reverses heart disease; Sharpens your mental edge... Long term use of antioxidants is recommended." This is not a "quick fix" but part of a lifestyle change: a commitment with a perseverant attitude toward safeguarding and enhancing your" system." James Balch, M.D., is co-author of more than four books and has sold over three million copies of the popular "Prescription for Nutritional Healing."
WHERE DO ANTIOXIDANTS COME FROM?
The body normally gets antioxidants from raw foods and pure water sources. Processed foods, excess sugar or alcohol, pollution, stress, pesticides, and other factors in daily life help to create more free radicals than the body can handle and reduce the total available amount of antioxidants.
HOW DO MegaH AND MegaHydrate DIFFER FROM OTHER ANITOXIDANTS?
MegaH is the most powerful antioxidants known. MegaH is a dietary supplement made exclusively by Phi Sciences. Its main active ingredient, Silica Hydride, contains ionized hydrogen. Negatively-charged ionized hydrogen contains an extra electron that is microencapsulated using a nanotechnology called Microclusters®. MegaHydrate contains the same amount of Silica Hydride as MegaH plus 50% more Microclusters® and has the same antioxidant capacity as MegaH. Comparing the effectiveness of the Silica Hydride in MegaH on free radicals versus other natural, and even synthetic, antioxidant compounds clearly shows that Silica Hydride is 800% more effective than other known products or foods.
Published research conducted at prestigious universities validates that the unique formulation and chemistry of Silica Hydride Microclusters® in MegaH and MegaHydrate are safe and contain no toxic byproducts.
WHY IS THE MegaH IONIZED HYDRODGEN AND SILICA HYDRIDE MORE EFFECTIVE AND SAFER THAN ALL OTHER ANTIOXIDANTS?
Scientific studies validate that ionized hydrogen delivered into the bloodstream is the most powerful free radical scavenger available. The problem with most antioxidants (Vitamin E, Vitamin C, etc.) is becoming free radicals themselves after neutralizing other free radicals. Silica Hydride has been tested for effectiveness against the most harmful and abundant free radicals including, but not limited to, singlet oxygen, super-oxide, and hydroxyl radicals. In all of the tests, Silica Hydride not only eliminated the free radicals by neutralizing them, but did not become a radical itself, and did not create a toxic environment. The byproduct of most of reactions between Silica Hydride and a free radical is Hydrogen gas and water. Silica Hydride is the only antioxidant that does not become a free radical itself after neutralizing other free radicals.

Surthrival True 6 Hour Colostrum. Third Party Verified True 6 Hour Colostrum - Mother Nature's Most Complete Superfood.
Colostrum is 3X more effective against Swine Flu than Vaccines!
The following information referenced was originally written by Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith.
SurThrivalists! You already knew Colostrum is the most absorbable, most nutrient dense, and complete food in nature, but did you know that Colostrum is 3X more effective against Swine Flu than vaccines? But remember, not all Colostrum is created equal. In fact, nearly all Colostrum on the market is actually nothing more than "transitional milk". True Colostrum must be harvested within 6 hours from the birth of the calf. Our Colostrum is the only independent 3rd party verified true "6 hour" Colostrum.
The following is the summary of a clinical study on the prevention of Influenza with Colostrum compared against Flu Vaccination:
The efficacy of a 2-month treatment with oral Colostrum in the prevention of flu episodes compared with anti-influenza vaccination was evaluated. Groups included healthy subjects without prophylaxis and those receiving both vaccination and Colostrum. After 3 months of follow-up, the number of days with flu was 3 times higher in the non-Colostrum subjects. The Colostrum group had 13 episodes versus 14 in the Colostrum + vaccination group, 41 in the group without prophylaxis, and 57 in nontreated subjects. Part 2 of the study had a similar protocol with 65 very high-risk cardiovascular subjects, all of whom had prophylaxis. The incidence of complications and hospital admission was higher in the group that received only a vaccination compared with the Colostrum groups. Colostrum, both in healthy subjects and high-risk cardiovascular patients, is at least 3 times more effective than vaccination to prevent flu and is very cost-effective.

More about Colostrum....
Colostrum is the "immune milk" produced by all mammals for only the first few hours before and after birth. Supercharged with 97 immune factors and 87 growth factors, Colostrum is nature's "first food". It's adaptogenic properties enhance rejuvination and regeneration while strengthening the immune system, allowing your body to thrive under any circumstance. With potent anti-aging benefits, and broad spectrum probiotics in their whole food forms - Colostrum delivers youth, health, and vitality! This Colostrum is from organically raised cows and only harvested after the newborn calves get their share. This is true 6 hour Colostrum, verified by a 3rd party.
Colostrum is an amazing material that, like many other things in nature, reflects the evolutionary development of a unique composition that will serve the needs of the offspring for which it is intended. The most unique of the Colostrums from mammalian species occurs in bovines, where transfer of biological substances across the placenta to the developing fetus does not occur and everything required for the development of a healthy, productive offspring is provided in the Colostrum. As such, bovine Colostrum provides a specialized resource that offers the broadest possible spectrum of biologically active substances that can promote the development of a sound body mass, assure effective and efficient metabolism and support the activation and maintenance of a fully functional immune system capable of combating potential insults from microorganisms and other deleterious sources. Bovine Colostrum is also compatible with almost any species and can readily convey its full benefits to humans by routine dietary supplementation without any significant adverse effects.
AST Enzymes
AST Enzymes Digest-GI 90caps

Digest-GI Complete Digestion*
Good Health Begins With Proper Digestion Specialized cells in the pancreas, stomach and salivary glands produce digestive enzymes. These enzymes, along with those found in live foods, facilitate the break-down of food that results in their absorption and the eventual production of energy. When we eat a meal, producing digestive enzymes becomes a high priority for the body, requiring a lot of energy and adding stress to the pancreas. Despite this effort, digestive enzyme needs may still not meet the demands of the body, and undigested food particles may remain. These particles can accumulate and prevent proper nutrient absorption, cause digestive discomfort, or worse, leak back into the bloodstream from the colon and cause toxicity.
There are a many causes of indigestion and other digestive disorders. At least 10% of the population is lactose intolerant. Combine this with non-digestible complex sugars from legumes, cruciferous vegetables and cereal grains, abdominal discomfort, bloating and gas are inevitable. Others consume far more protein than their body’s enzymes can digest, resulting in digestive discomfort. Typically, people reach for an antacid, which only neutralizes stomach acid and slows the digestive process. Yet, the true cause for indigestion has not been addressed. Digestive enzyme supplementation can enhance nutrient absorption, relieve digestive discomfort and promote overall better health.
Digest-GI (DigeSEB-GI) is a premium, all-encompassing blend of digestive enzymes formulated to optimize digestion of dairy, legumes, cruciferous vegetables, cereal grains, proteins and other foods. Digest-GI (DigeSEB-GI) includesalpha and beta amylase, invertase, maltase, alpha galactosidase, lipase, cellulase and a complete array of protease enzymes, all of which are designed to enhance the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, while increasing the nutritional value of food and reducing the discomforts of incomplete digestion.
Digest-GI (DigeSEB-GI) contains all-natural digestive enzymes specifically tailored to break down a broad range of foods into nutrients that your body can readily use. The powerful combination of proteases in Digest-GI helps hydrolyze proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Further, these enzymes are designed to be effective across a wide pH range throughout the entire digestive tract.
After about the age of two years, the body begins to produce less lactase. Undigested lactose molecules pass into the colon and are fermented by bacteria, contributing to bloating, cramping and gas. DigeSEB-GI supports the digestion of lactose, as well as casein and other proteins and fats inherent in dairy products.
Digest-GI (DigeSEB-GI) is also formulated to assist in the breakdown of carbohydrates found in vegetables, grains and legumes. Complex carbohydrates found in these foods are very nutrient dense but slow to digest. Undigested food is fermented in the colon, which can cause discomfort and limit the amount of nutrients made available for the body to absorb. The inclusion of two kinds of amylase in Digest-GI helps breakdown carbohydrates and assimilates them into usable sugars and starches. The complete digestion formula also contains HemiSEB®, a special enzyme complex that breaks down hard-to-digest components of plant fiber. Alpha-galactosidase breaks down complex carbohydrates found in legumes, vegetables, and grains, while reducing the discomforts of incomplete digestion.*
Digest-GI Dosage Take 1 or more capsules with each meal, or as directed by your healthcare professional.

FAQ
What is digestive enzyme therapy?
Digestive enzyme therapy is the use of plant or animal-based dietary supplements to aid in digestion and promote balanced metabolism.* All of our products are of plant origin, meaning they are 100% vegetarian/vegan. Although the body is equipped with enzymes that perform digestive actions, certain conditions can affect their production and effectiveness. States of disease and aging are both factors affecting enzyme production and action.
What is a digestive proteolytic enzyme?
Proteolytic enzymes break down proteins into their building-blocks, which are called amino acids. The body requires 20 different amino acids, 8 of which are referred to as essential amino acids because they cannot be synthesized by the human body. These essential amino acids must be obtained from the food we eat. Without sufficient proteolytic enzymes, the body is unable to break down and absorb these necessary nutrients. Failure to fully digest proteins can result in undesirable symptoms such as bloating, abdominal cramping, flatulence and diarrhea.
How long should I take Digest-GI before feeling results?
Digest-GI (DigeSEB-GI) should be taken 5-10 minutes prior to eating. The typical, recommended dose is 1 to 2 capsules per meal. There are several variables that may affect the required dosage, for example:
Content of meal
Size of meal
Severity of intolerance
Nutritional status
Depending on these variables, along with one’s individual response to digestive enzyme therapy, the dose can be as high as 4-5 capsules per meal. It is advisable to experiment with dosage, considering there is no upper limit or adverse effects in exceeding your supplement needs.
What if I miss a dose?
Since digestive enzymes aid in digestion of food that is otherwise difficult to tolerate, finding yourself without them may be tricky. However, although digestive enzymes are recommended to be taken prior to a meal, if you find yourself missing a dose, we recommend that you take them directly after your meal. Don’t worry; they’ll be just as efficient!
Why is it important to take Digest-GI with food?
Since Digest-GI (DigeSEB-GI) aids in overall digestion, it is contraindicated to use the enzyme without eating. Although it is not harmful to take DigeSEB on an empty stomach, it is simply a waste of money. If you take digestive enzymes too soon before a meal, you risk the enzyme becoming inactive. The food and enzyme must be in the stomach together for proper results.
Are there any side effects involved with Digest-GI?
Side effects with Digest-GI (DigeSEB-GI) are rare, but not impossible. Mild cramping may occur, as the intestinal lining begins to cleanse. Other rare, but reported side effects include minor gastrointestinal disturbances, like bloating or gas. Starting off at a low dose can minimize any possible side effects. Side effects should clear with regular use, after a tolerance is established.
What does “proprietary blend” mean?
Proprietary refers to a patent, or ownership. Applying this concept to our digestive enzyme blend, it means that we alone own the rights to the specific blend of enzymes found in DigeSEB-GI, making our product different from similarly marketed digestive enzyme supplements. DigeSEB-GI encompasses an all-inclusive digestive aid product that assists in the digestion of several nutrients, not just beans and vegetables.
Can I take Digest-GI with other systemic or digestive enzymes?
Although digestive and systemic enzymes arenot contraindicated in terms of ingredients, they should not be taken at the same time. The purpose of digestive enzymes is to aid in digestion of specific foods, so taking them with food is an obvious recommendation. Because systemic enzymes require an empty stomach for maximum absorption, they must be taken separately from digestive enzymes. There are no adverse interactions between systemic and digestive enzymes, but they serve different purposes, and thus should be taken as directed for best results.
Can I open the capsule and pour it onto my food instead of swallowing the capsule?
If you find that you have trouble swallowing the capsules, pouring its contents onto food is definitely an option. You may also open the capsule into a glass of water, being sure to drink the entire glass. If you choose to take the enzymes this way, it is best to consume the entire content as soon as possible to ensure you are receiving the full benefits within your body (rather than on your plate).
AST Enzymes
AST Enzymes Floracor-GI 180 caps
£49.99
A full-spectrum blend of probiotics, prebiotics and enzymes designed to maintain intestinal microflora balance, promote colon health, and serve as a Candida yeast cleanse*
Floracor-GI:• Candida yeast cleanse*• intestinal and colon cleanse*• microflora recolonization*• stimulates immune system*• supports gastrointestinal health*• sustains intestinal flora*• nutrient support for bloating*• provides relief from constipation*
Floracor-GI® is a revolutionary blend of probiotics, prebiotics and enzymes especially formulated to help maintain a proper balance of intestinal microflora, inhibit pathogenic bacteria and prevent the overgrowth of yeast organisms, mainly Candida.*
Candida albicans is usually a harmless yeast present in the body. However, stress, in the form of modern lifestyles, hormonal imbalances, excessive sugar consumption, environmental pollutants, and pharmaceutical drugs, including antibiotics and oral contraceptives, can wreak havoc on the proper balance of microorganisms in the gastro-intestinal tract.
Candida, being an opportunistic organism, will flourish under these adverse conditions. And when Candida is anchored to the intestinal tract, intestinal leakage and immune disorders may result.Candida removal is the logical first step toward effective intestinal cleansing. The protease enzyme Serrapeptase and enzymes like Cellulase and Chitosanase attack the outer cell wall of Candida yeast, weakening its hold on the intestinal mucosa and reducing their viability. Floracor-GI distinguishes itself from other intestinal cleansing formulas in the following ways:
•
Chitosanase is a unique and powerful enzyme that helps to break down chitin, an important part of the structure of the Candida cell wall. Cellulase enhances this activity by breaking down the cellulose component of the cell wall.
•
SEBiotic® is a special spore-forming probiotic that is incredibly stable in the dormant state. Using our Enhanced Probiotic Delivery System™(EPDS), this probiotic can exist in a dehydrated state indefinitely. EPDS™ delivers larger amounts of living bacteria into the intestinal tract, where they colonize and flourish. Once in the intestinal tract, these bacteria exit their spores, attach themselves to the intestinal mucosa, and begin to germinate, producing new colonies of friendly bacteria.
•
The Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), nutrient-dense alfalfa, and papaya powder in its fortified Prebiotic blend enhance the growth and stability of probiotics in the gut.
•
The high-activity proteases, including Peptizyme-SP brand serrapeptase, in Floracor-GI hydrolyze putrefying food matter trapped between the intestinal villi. This results in a better intestinal environment, improved absorption, motility and better overall colon health.
Floracor-GI is a thorough and effective intestinal cleansing containing the following ingredients:
ALFALFA POWDER promotes colon health and is a rich source of vitamins and minerals, and protein. It works well with prebiotics in promoting overall digestive health.
AMLA, or Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis), is a natural and efficacious antioxidant. It is one of the richest sources of absorbable vitamin C available.
PAPAYA JUICE POWDER from green papaya is dehydrated at a controlled temperature to ensure its maximum nutritional value. It is 100% natural and nothing is added as a drying aid or preservative. It retains the natural proteolytic, active enzyme, papain. Papain has been used for centuries as an effective digestive aid.
LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS is a probiotic that produces lactic acid that inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and yeasts.
LACTOBACILLUS CASEI is another probiotic that produces lactic acid and has a wide pH and temperature range and complements the growth of L. acidophilus in the production of the enzyme amylase.
LACTOBACILLUS BULGARICUS, a probiotic widely known to increase longevity. It cooperates with L. acidophilus in creating a protective colonization in the intestinal tract.
LACTOBACILLUS PLANTARUM is a probiotic that works with L. acidophilus in inhibiting pathogens. It also produces L-lysine, a beneficial amino acid.
LACTOBACILLUS BREVIS is a species of lactic acid bacteria. It is very prevalent in fermented foods such as sauerkraut and pickles and has been found to improve the immune system health.
LACTOBACILLUS CAUCASIUM is a species of lactic acid bacteria used for its health-promoting properties.
LACTOBACILLUS HELVETICUS is a lactic-acid producing rod shaped bacterium of the genus Lactobacillus. It is most commonly used in the production of cheese. Some research has indicated that powdered milk fermented with L. Helveticus helped reduce blood pressure.
BIFIDOBACTERIUM BIFIDUM, a probiotic well-documented for its adverse effect on pathogenic or disease causing bacteria. Bifidobacteria aid in digestion, and are often used as probiotics (good bacteria) for their immune stimulating properties.
SEBiotic (Bacillus coagulans or Lactobacillus Sporogenes) is a spore forming lactogenic probiotic with the trade name SEBiotic. As with other probiotics, it demonstrates significant immune strengthening properties. As a spore forming probiotic and through our Enhanced Probiotic Delivery System (EPDS), more SEBiotic is delivered to the gut where the bacteria begin to germinate, and eventually colonize.
SACCHAROMYCES BOULARDII is a probiotic that helps maintain and restore the balance of microflora in the large and small intestine.
FRUTOOLIGOSACCHARIDES (FOS) are short-chain sugars that stimulate the growth of probiotics in the digestive system.
FULVIC ACID makes minerals bioactive and available to the cells of the body including probiotics. They stimulate metabolism, enhance respiration, increase metabolism of proteins, the activity of multiple enzymes, enhances the permeability of cell membranes and promotes cell division.

Dragon Herbs
Dragon Herbs Eagle Vision (100caps 500mg)
£21.00
Eagle Vision
According to tradition Chinese health theory, the “Liver” opens into the eyes and controls vision. The Chinese version of the Liver is a complex organ system. Its functions include not only those of the liver as we know it physiologically in the West, but also includes a number of other organic structures and functions that might seem unrelated at first glance, but are in fact closely related functionally – such as the control of the peripheral nervous system and, in particular,our vision. The eyes are a part of the peripheral nervous system, and are therefore controlled by the Liver. Both visual acuity and the condition of the eyes itself are under the influence of the Liver.
The Liver “prefers to remain cool.” Yin tonifying herbs provide the natural coolness that supports healthy eye tissue and functioning.
Goji, Chrysanthemum, Dendrobium, Peony and Cassia tora nurture Liver Yin.
Goji berry is famed for its benefit to the eyes as well as to the system as a whole. Goji is a Liver and blood tonic. Goji berries contain carotenoids that promote vitamin A production and provide important eye nutrients, including zeathanthin, a carotenoid that protects the health of the retina, the pigment that coats the retina (the back wall of the eye).
An herb that is highly reputed for its benefits to the eyes is the small Oriental Chrysanthemum Flower. This flower is used in Chinese herbalism to directly and quickly benefit the eyes and vision by clearing obstructions and allowing energy to flow freely through the eyes. It is a cooling herb which clears heat away from the eyes. This herb can help relieve temporary mild eye strain, eye redness and eye congestion due to fatigue and temporary dryness resulting from environmental conditions. Anger and toxic substances will cause the eyes to become red, as will a lack of sleep. If your eyes are chronically fatigued, red or congested, or become so due to a condition such as hay fever, see a physician as this may indicate a serious condition.
Cornus is another tonic fruit that has powerful effects on the “Kidneys” and “Liver.” It is traditionally believed to be a valuable eye tonic. Astragalus and Dioscorea supplement Qi and strengthen the body. Vitex rotundifolia supports clear vision. Ligusticumstimulates the smooth flow of Qi and blood. Tribulus tonifies the Kidney and Liver. Cassia tora cools the eyes.
Tonic herbs are not to be used for the purposes of curing, preventing or treating any disease of the eyes (for that, you should consult a physician before using any herbs or supplements). This formula is used to promote the proper energy balance in the eyes so that the eyes remain healthy. As a Yin tonic, it also promotes healthy fluid balance of the eyes. Again, if you are experiencing significant eye inflammation or what appears to be an eye infection or any other disease of the eye, you should consult a physician.*

Desert Cistanche Drops
Cistanche, the King of Desert Herbs
Desert Cistanche Drops is a very potent Yang tonic preparation made from one of the world’s truly elite tonic herbs, Desert Cistanche. It has been used for centuries by men to enhance male sexual function and power, and many women consume it as well. Desert Cistanche Drops is made with large wild Cistanche (Rou Cong Rong in Chinese) from the desert of Western Mongolia and Inner Mongolia as it rises westward toward the Heaven Mountains of Central Asia. Genghis Khan consumed Desert Cistanche every day. This unrivaled tincture is rich and pleasant to the palette.
Traditionally in Chinese health philosophy, a range of functions including the sexual, renal, structural (skeletal), neurological, marrow-supporting and endocrine functions, and their related tissues, are known collectively as the “Kidney.” Desert Cistanche is a superior “Kidney tonic herb” that may be used by men or women, though it is most widely used by men to promote sexual power and virility. It is famously known as the “Stalk Enlarger.” It has gained the traditional reputation of strengthening male erections, intensifying orgasms in both men and women, and for enlarging the penis. Cistanche is also considered to be an excellent mood supporting herb. (No scientific-consensus substantiation is available yet for any of these traditional “benefits.” Cistanche is NOT an E D drug, and is not used to treat, cure or prevent any disease. It is a tonic herb, a kind of superfood that promotes optimal functioning of normal bodily functions.)
Cistanche is famous for being simultaneously powerful and gentle. It is both Yang and Yin. Its actions are profound and unmistakable, but its actions as a Yang tonic are said to be “calm and smooth,” meaning that it is not sudden or harsh.
Research on Desert Cistanche
A set of constituents known as PhGs (phenylethanoid glycosides) are the primary constituents of Cistanche for tonifying Kidney functions. These Cistanche glycosides are quite similar to those of Rehmannia, another well-known Kidney tonic herb. Rehmannia is considered to be a Yin Kidney tonic. In fact, three of the primary glycosides found in Cistanche are also found in Rehmannia, along with Rehmannia’s primary glycoside, catalpol. Rehmannia and Cistanche are both rich in sterols such as sitosterol. Thus, it seems that the “gentle” nature of Cistanche, generally considered a very potent Yang tonic, is due to having constituents that also nourish Yin.
Recently, there has been increasing scientific attention on Cistanche for its remarkable anti-aging, antioxidant and neuroprotective bioactivities. Pharmacological studies show that saponins called cistanocides, related to the ginsenosides of Ginseng and the astragalosides of Astragalus, are major active components of Cistanche. These cistanocides contribute to an energy tonifying, adaptogenic range of actions. Cistanche long ago earned the honorable title of “Ginseng of the Desert.”
Cistanche also contains a rich array of volatile oils, iridoids, lignans, alditols, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides that contribute to its many tonic functions.
Galactitol and the oligosaccharides moisten and nourish the colon and support normal healthy bowel functions. This is one of the primary functions of Desert Cistanche.
Cistanche polysaccharides and cistanocides are responsible for improving body immunity.
The Rich History of Cistanche
Shennong first described Cistanche 2,500 years ago
Shennong, one of the founders of Chinese culture and the author of the world’s first herbal text, had this to say about Cistanche:
“Cistanche has a salty taste. It mainly treats the five taxations and seven damages, supplements the center, eliminates cold and heat and pain in the penis, nourishes the five viscera, strengthens Yin, and boosts Jing and Qi. In females, it makes pregnancy possible and treats concretions and conglomerations. Protracted taking can make the body light.”
In fact, Cistanche is not really salty though it grows in alkaline soil; it is actually sweet and rich-tasting. It is not bitter, salty or pungent. To an herbalist’s palette it is quite delicious.
Cistanche has been used in traditional formulations as a tonic to restore and support Kidney functions and to tonify Jing, and thus to help restore and maintain youth and to prevent hasty degeneration with aging.
Shennong is one of the greatest herbal geniuses in the history of mankind. He developed the principle of three levels of health practice and of herbs, and virtually single-handedly launched Chinese herbalism. He described 360 herbs in his great herbal text, Shennong’s Pharmacopeia
Asian sex manuals always recommend Desert Cistanche as a long term tonic to build primal power and enhance endowment
Numerous classical Asian manuals on both herbalism and sexuality describe Cistanche in much detail. For instance, it was mentioned no less than one hundred times in The Essence of Medical Prescriptions (984 A.D.) in the sections on men’s health, sex, Yang tonics and physical empowerment. This is one of the most honored medical texts for Oriental medical practitioners still in existence. One of the sections focused entirely on the bedroom arts, and Cistanche was the primary herb used in numerous formulations for men. It was referred to routinely as the “stalk enlarger,” in reference to the “jade stalk” or penis.
The herb remains extremely popular in Asia. Products featuring Cistanche are found in all herb shops. Cistanche has a colorful reputation in China, since everyone knows what it does. Desert Cistanche Drops is made from large three-to-four year old Cistanche stalks collected in the wild Inner Mongolian desert. This product is NOT made with commercial grade Cistanche. It is made with grade A+ wild Cistanche stalks.
The infamous Genghis Khan, who fathered literally hundreds of children in his lifetime and who has left the largest substantiated genetic trail of any single man in human history, consumed Desert Cistanche every day as a tonic. His Y-chromosome is today found in an estimated 16 million of his male–line progeny in a vast swath of Asia from Manchuria to Central Asia, and more recently throughout the world. That’s one of every 200 males on earth today. Cistanche grows wild in the regions that were first controlled by Genghis Khan (Inner Mongolia and Heaven Mountain). Wild Cistanche is collected in arid regions that are untouched by civilization.
More Research on Desert Cistanche
Cistanche may benefit learning and memory
A study entitled “Cistanche enhances learning and memory by inducing nerve growth factor” (published in The Journal Behavioral Brain Research, Jan 20, 2011) reports that Desert Cistanche extract increased nerve growth factor (NGF) induction in animal cells. NGF and NGF–like molecules have potent biological activities such as promoting neurite outgrowth, protecting neurons (preventing neuronal death), supporting synapse formation, and enhancing learning and memory functions. Cistanche extract significantly enhanced learning and memory in mice, and the memory improvement function was determined to be a result of up-regulation of the nerve growth factor. NGF has also been demonstrated to have an association with the feelings of romantic love through a pathway associated with dopamine.
Cistanche may have cardio-protective and respiratory benefits
In a study entitled “Herba Cistanche extract enhances mitochondrial glutathione status and respiration in rat hearts” (published in Pharmaceutical Biology, May 2010), Cistanche has been shown to enhance mitochondrial ATP generation. ATP is the “energy-rich molecule” at the root of all living vitality. Treatment with an alcohol extract of Cistanche enhanced mitochondrial glutathione status and increased mitochondrial membrane potential. Glutathione is one of the three primary innate antioxidants produced by humans to fight off free radicals. In addition, an increase in respiration was observed in mitochondria from Cistanche-treated rat hearts. The enhancement of mitochondrial glutathione status and functional ability may be related to cardioprotection afforded by Cistanche. (Desert Cistanche Drops is both an alcohol extract and a water extract so that all constituents are extracted.)
This is the analytical laboratory at the facility Dragon Herbs uses to produce Desert Cistanche Drops and most of our other “Drops.” The equipment is state of the art.
More research on the actions of Cistanche PhGs
In the review section of an article in the Journal of Food Analysis, it is stated that the major active components of Cistanche deserticola, PhGs, have been reported to have cardioactive, hepatocyte protective, antioxidant, antibacterial, and neuroprotective activities.
Here are some of the established functions of the main PhGs in Cistanche deserticola (Desert Cistanche) mentioned in the review:
Cistanoside A exhibits an anti-inflammatory effect.
Cistanoside C possesses DNA-repair effects.
2’-acetylacteoside exhibits antioxidant, DNA-repair and neuroprotective effects.
Isoacteoside possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and vaso-relaxant activities.
Acteoside exhibits both estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects, probably acting as a regulator.
Acteoside also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.
Isocistanoside C has antioxidant activity.
Echinacoside exhibits anti-inflammatory effect and enhances wound healing.
Tubuloside B has a neuroprotective effect.
Cistanche deserticola is not endangered but it is a “monitored botanical,” meaning that its collection and exportation in and out of China or region of growth as a raw material is strictly limited and governed by International CITES regulations. Although Cistanche is very popular in China and other Asian countries, and the superior grade Cistanche is coveted in the more affluent Chinese market, it is NOT over-collection that has caused any shortages of the herb. Cistanche is a parasitic herb that grows on another plant, a desert shrub called Saxaul. The stems and branches of Saxaul are heavily relied upon by natives of the desert as a superior fuel wood. As a result, Saxaul has been over-collected, restricting Cistanche availability. The government is trying to provide alternative forms of fuel to the natives of the regions where it grows to mitigate use of Saxaul and thus to allow the Cistanche population to expand again. Dragon Herbs complies with all CITES regulations and is committed to sustainable practices. Furthermore, Dragon Herbs limits the production of Desert Cistanche Drops to a relatively small quantity (far below potential demand), to protect sustainability of this great natural herb.
Production and potency
For Desert Cistanche, alcohol extraction is considered to be superior to simple water extraction, although both alcohol and water extraction have been traditionally practiced. Desert Cistanche Drops is fully extracted with BOTH alcohol and water to maximize extraction of ALL active constituents. The extract is concentrated to optimal potency in a GMP certified facility, meeting Ron Teeguarden’s strictest standards of excellence.
Longan, translated literally as “Dragon Eye” fruit, is a wonderfully delicious, fleshy fruit that is extremely popular in China as a snack. Although in Asia it is consumed fresh in the fall, this unique tasting sweet fruit is usually dried and consumed throughout the year much like raisins or dried apricots. But unlike most other dried fruits, Longan is a major tonic herb. It is used by the Chinese as a blood tonic (an herb that builds blood), as an energy tonic to increase vitality, to nurture the heart, and to enhance the beauty of the skin.
A great blood tonic.
Longan is one of the premier blood tonics of Chinese tonic herbalism, it is often combined with other blood tonics such as Dang Gui and Peony to make blood building teas and formulations. Dragon Eye Fruit has a very high content of iron – about 20 times that of grapes and 15 times that of spinach.
A great Qi tonic for building up your everyday energy.
Consumed regularly, Longan is more than just a temporary energy booster. It is an excellent Qi tonic that increases long-term vitality. Since it is both a blood tonic and a Qi tonic, it can be used to relieve insomnia, forgetfulness and anxiety which are the results of blood and Qi deficiency, according to Chinese philosophy.
Promotes calmness.
Longan promotes calmness, especially when combined with Shen tonics such as Reishi. It has been found to promote a deep, refreshing sleep. If you have difficulty sleeping, you may enjoy using a classic tonic formulation known as “Ginseng and Longan Combination” that is famous for helping promote a good night’s sleep.
A fantastic beauty herb and sex tonic.
Longan adds luster and beauty to the skin. It is believed among the Chinese people that Longan is not only great for the skin, but is also a fantastic sex tonic. For that reason, Longan is considered a MUST for
women who wish to be both beautiful and sensual – it has a 2000 year reputation as a special love tonic.
Longan nurtures the heart.
According to traditional Chinese herbal theory, Longan directly nourishes the heart, promoting heart health.
Usage: Logan is a great every day snack. Longan’s iron content makes it an excellent supplement to a vegetarian or low-animal-protein diet. Give it as a healthy snack in your kid’s lunch.
Contents: 1 pound bag dried longan berries
Surthrival (Daniel Vitalis)
Surthrival Pine Pollen PURE POTENCY, 1.69 fl oz (50 mL)
£67.00
WARNING: DO NOT CONSUME IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY TO POLLEN
The gold standard in nutrient-dense meta-foods.
Surthrival presents Pine Pollen Pure Potency, our most advanced phyto-androgenic formula to date. The testosterone-bearing properties of pine pollen & the sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) blocking properties of nettle root are brought together to maximize free testosterone. Endocrine function (HPA Axis) is supported by the adaptogenic effects of eleuthero root, in an organic ethanol delivery system.
This product is the outgrowth of a year of working with the Pine Pollen on its own. We eventually realized that having some support herbs could really increase its effectiveness. How It Works The Pine Pollen contains testosterone, DHEA, and other androgens. The Nettle Root blocks the binding of these androgens by SHBG, which tends to make them unavailable. The Eleuthero Root supports the overall function of the Pituitary and Hypothalamus, where androgens are produced. This makes it the greatest androgenic herbal formula on the market. It is a hormone balancer and up-regulator. Additionally the Pine Pollen increases Glutithione levels and Super Oxide Dismutase. These open the detoxification pathways and increase the enzymatic repair of damaged DNA from radiation and other pollutants. The Eleuthero Root is a supreme adaptogen, as is PP, so this formula is an overall energy modulator and increaser. Did we mention it tastes really good? That is due to the Orange, Clove, and Vanilla, which is a bit like a creamcicle. We chose the double sized bottle, which is a 2 month supply, because most herbs really start working best at 6 weeks, and we feel the smaller bottle is sometimes a disservice to the client. * These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

*Always store in a cool dry place and use fresh Pine Pollen to maximize potency. Use the pollen within two months after opening to prohibit any moisture from accumulating in the pollen.
How long should I take Pine Pollen?
In order to maximize the results of your health throughout your life we recommend that you use Surthrival Pine Pollen indefinitely.
What is the difference between the powder, tincture, and capsules?
The raw pine pollen is more of a food, and will be targeting the entire system, whereas the tincture is bypasses the GI tract, more effectively raising androgen levels.
What are the health benefits of Pine Pollen?
[See above- “DISCOVER THE HEALTH BENEFITS”]
Is pine pollen for men and women?
The short answer…both.
For building energy and vitality, in men and women, especially at menopause/andropause, pine pollen is fantastic.
Are there any side effects?
Although uncommon, a small percentage of people are allergic to pine pollen (about 1.5%-10% of the population depending on location). Allergies are generally mild ranging from rhinoconjunctivitis to mild asthma in extremely susceptible people.
If you have any previous sensitivity to pollens, you may want to begin slowly with pine pollen, beginning with a tiny doses, until you are positive that there is no sensitivity.
What are the recommended dosages for Pine Pollen?
To Raise androgen levels:
Tincture: Full dropper 3x daily or as desired (30 drops, 1.5 ml, or 3/8 tsp 3x daily). Hold in the mouth for a minute, and then swallow. This allows more contact with the mucous membranes of the throat and esophagus and increases the amount that is taken into the blood stream.
*Because the pollen, when taken as pill or powder, must travel through the GI tract and its digestive processes, it is much less effective or raising androgen levels than the tincture.
As tonic, nutritive, and adaptogen:
Capsules: 2-3 capsules, 2-3x daily—or the equivalent of powder, in other words: 4.5-9 grams daily (Approx 1.5 to 3 tsp daily).
Are there any potential risks with other herb/drug interactions?
There are no listings in anecdotal reports of Pine Pollen powder or tincture interaction, positive or negative. However because it is a powerful phytoandrogen, those who are already consuming a pharmaceutical testosterone or DHT should avoid intake prior to consulting a medical professional for advice.

Dragon Herbs Changbai Mountain Ant Drops (60ml)
£28.00
Changbai Mountain Ant Drops
Changbai Mountain Ant Drops is a full-potency hydro-ethanolic extraction of one of the most powerful tonic substances known. This is a very high potency Mountain Ant extract. It is made with clean, farmed Polyrhachis Ant from Changbai Mountain in remote northeastern China (Manchuria).
Chinese Mountain Ant
Polyrhachis Ant is one of the adaptogenic superstars of Chinese tonic herbalism. Classically considered one of the “forever young foods” incorporated into daily diets, Polyrhachis Ant is widely consumed in Asia as a dietary supplement for its many known benefits. This Mountain Ant is famous for supporting many important life functions and for its replenishing tonic properties of restoring Qi, increasing vitality and nourishing the blood. Polyrhachis Ant is also one of the few truly powerful adaptogenic substances of the earth, helping the body to naturally adapt to change and common stress as efficiently as possible. Polyrhachis Ant is one of the few ‘herbs’ that gives quick Qi to the brain and body, while simultaneously restoring its original source, the Kidney Yin, creating its supertonic reputation for both Qi and Jing.
Polyrhachis Ant regulates Yin and Yang throughout the body and supports the regulatory functions of the immune system. The thymus gland is an important organ of the immune system and stimulates the production and replication of lymphocytes. Recent research demonstrates that Polyrhachis Ant can support the functions of the thymus gland.
Polyrhachis Ant is a source of zinc; it has the highest known content among all living organisms. Being a critical element in healthy human sexual function, zinc is known as the ‘harmonizing’ element in Japan, for its support of ‘harmonious relations’ between couples. Studies have shown that regular consumption of Polyrhachis Ant provides useable zinc. While supporting the balance and delivery of hormones within the body, Ant is NOT itself a source of hormones and can be safely consumed by both men and women, young and old.
Of over 400 known species of ants that have been studied in China alone, Polyrhachis vicina is the only species of Ant approved by the China Ministry of Public Health as a diet supplement. Polyrhachis vicina Ant contains more than 8 kinds of amino acids, crucial to the upkeep of a robust, resilient body. Polyrhachis Ant contains essential vitamins B1, B2, B12, D and E. As much as 67% ofPolyrhachis vicina Ant’s dry weight is protein, and Polyrhachis Ant contains more than 20 trace elements such as magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron and selenium, as well as many essential enzymes.
Polyrhachis Ant contains bioavailable ATP, providing energy directly and rapidly to the human body through intracellular transfer, and superoxide dismutase (SOD), a potent anti-oxidant enzyme. Polyrhachis Ant has shown to support liver functions. Ant has also been shown to support important normal immune functions that help maintain health.
As a renowned Jing Yin tonic, Polyrhachis Ant strengthens the entire Kidney and adrenal system, supporting the musculoskeletal system, while also supporting sexual function. In Asia, Mountain Ant is considered an aphrodisiac (“Ginseng is the king of herbs, but Mountain Ant is the herb of kings”). Ant supports the nervous system, supports digestive functions and supports the natural moment-to-moment detoxifying functions throughout the body.
Polyrhachis Ant is known to increase the production of DNA and RNA within the cell itself. A unique set of aldehyde compounds found in Polyrhachis Ant is believed to contribute to the Ant’s unparalleled physical strength, known to be able to lift up to 100 times their own weight. This aldehyde provides the great tonic action for the human body.*

Our colostrum is from grass-fed / finished cattle and is ethically sourced from the surplus left after the calf has been fully nourished. We gently spray dry the milk into a powder, which is packed with nutrients, peptides and growth factors. This makes it an incredibly potent natural supplement for immunity, lean muscle / connective tissue growth and gut health. Each tub contains 150g which equates to 30-50 servings.
GUT HEALTH
The transforming growth factors within colostrum have been shown to heal the gut, which in tern supports digestion, immunity, neurotransmitter production and detoxification.
GROWTH FACTORS
Colostrum contains a multitude of growth factors, which support bone, cartilage and skin health as well as aiding with lean muscle growth.
GRASS-FED & HORMONE/ANTIBIOTIC FREE
Our colostrum is sourced from grass-fed / finished cattle, which graze outside naturally for as much of the year as is possible. They are completely antibiotic/hormone free and their diet contains no foods containing fertilisers, pesticides, heavy metals or other chemicals.
IMMUNE FUNCTION
Packed with immunoglobulins and macrophage stimulating factor, colostrum is unparalleled in its ability to support immune function.
ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Grass-Fed Colostrum
Our ancestors understood the importance of eating the whole animal, nose to tail and utilising everything it had to offer. They appreciated that animals gave their lives to ensure us as humans could survive and thrive so they left nothing go to waste. Also, because of their deep connection with the earth and their own bodies they intuitively knew just how nutrient dense colostrum is. Finally they believed that drinking the colostrum of a healthy animal, would strengthen their health and vitality. Fast forward to today and the immense power of colostrum has somewhat been forgotten. What was once highly sought after is now rarely consumed. We created our grass-fed colostrum powder to help people reintroduce this ancestral superfood, loaded with nutrients, peptides and growth factors in an easy to consume way.

Can be taken at any time throughout the day. If being used as a general wellness supplement, we suggest consuming 5g per day. However if being utilised to recover from illness or injury, we suggest doubling the serving to 10g per day.
FAQS
WHAT ARE THE GROWTH FACTORS WITHIN COLOSTRUM?
Insulin-like Growth Factor- I & II (IGF-I & -II) - The primary growth factors in colostrum, these have been shown to build lean muscle mass, balance blood sugar and stimulate the synthesis and repair of DNA. Transforming Growth Factors Alpha & Beta (TGF-a & b) - Stimulates the growth of connective tissue, including bone / cartilage and plays a key roll in wound healing and gut repair. Having a properly formed gut wall supports digestion, immunity, neurotransmitter production and detoxification. Epithelial Growth Factor (EGF) - A primary driver in the maintenance and repair of skin, including wound healing.
WHY IS COLOSTRUM SO GOOD FOR IMMUNITY?
It contains: Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, IgE) - Antibodies that play an integral role in immunity. Proline-rich Polypeptides (PRPs) - Crucial for thymus gland support and modulating the immune response, PRPs have been shown to bolster a weakened immune response or balance out an overactive immune system. Lactoferrin - an iron-binding protein which helps a critical roll in immunity due its antibacterial and antiviral properties. Colony-stimulating Factor-1 (macrophage colony-stimulating factor) - Stimulates the production of macrophages, which are immune cells that consume and dispose of dead pathogens. Cytokines, Interleukins, Interferons, and Lymphokines - Known to enhance T cell activity, antibody production and act as a potent anti-inflammatory. Lactalbumins - trigger apoptosis (cell death), which clears out cancerous cells and viruses.
DO YOU PASTEURISE YOUR COLOSTRUM?
Cattle udders can be contaminated with E-coli, salmonella and other pathogenic bacteria from manure. Therefore our colostrum is gently pasteurised to kill any pathogens, whilst not denaturing the colostrum.
WHAT ABOUT BSE?
Our colostrum is produced exclusively from herds which are certified free from BSE.
WHAT ABOUT THE CALF?
A cow produces enough colostrum and milk for twins, although this is very rare. Our colostrum is ethically sourced from the surplus left after the calf has been fully nourished.
